have you read the performance issues thread a little lower down?

Hi I had the same symptoms,caused by a disconnected vacuum pipe on the drivers side.See my previous post "bit sluggish on hills" hope its that simple.

I have had no problems overriding my scavenger fan with out the use of a resistor,but the LED on the 12 volt switch doesn`t light.the voltage measures 5V.Anybody any ideas if there is a switch available that will light at that voltage?

I by passed my sensor because my sound killer sheet cuts it off from the engine,with no side effects.When I tow my caravan I switch it permanently only problem is the led on the switch wont light because there is only a 5 volt feed.

Could be the latch needs adjustment to give a tighter fit,that cured mine

good luck

sounds familiar,I`ve been through exactly the same symptoms eventually a cylinder head crack was found.
Expensive but worth it.Love driving my Bongo

Hi when I first picked up my bongo the temperature gauge hardly worked,turned out to be a faulty thermostat.
A low coolant alarm I think is essential I have also fitted an audible temperature alarm linked to the temperature gauge
which also makes the gauge accurate [cant remember what its called ...

I have had this problem,every time the screws were cleaned things worked fine for a week and then slowly the alarm started murmuring and sounding full time.Eventually changed from red to blue anti freeze and all works perfectly now.Hope this helps and you get yours sorted.

Thanks I'm suspecting low leisure battery voltage

some good information there thanks.I wonder which is likely to be affected by temperature.think I'll start by cleaning the fuse blades.

Hi I hope there is an answer because mine does the same,it's fine in summer but when the temperature drops it locks fine but then the drivers door always unlocks,other doors erratic sometimes twitching,delayed action or nothing.Replaced drivers door loom and relay but the problem persists in winter ...

I've done the same as you, short cicuited the sensor with a switch.I always switch on the scavenger fan permamently when towing,not had any problems apart from the switch LED doesn`t light I think because ther's only a 5 Volt feed.

got mine from Matt Savage.I had an initial problem with incorrect spacers and instructions which resulted in the bags bursting.Spoke to Matt who was sympathetic and invited me to his workshop at Matlock,he fitted brand new bags and correct spacers at no cost now no more bottoming out better towing ...

sorry to read Haydn`s comments but thanks to him for the brilliant low coolant alarm,probably the most useful of the many gadgets fitted to my Bongo.

thanks did look there before found under miscelaneous and ordered

cheers
